Market Street Family Restaurant

We stopped here for breakfast… I had the western omelette (ham, onions, green pepper), which came with home fries and toast. Everything was good! I was totally stuffed and ready to take a nap afterward (late brunch/​breakfast goal achieved).
Coffee was typical for this type of casual family restaurant, not too strong, pretty mild, but it was unlimited, so that’s a plus.
Waitress was so friendly and service was quick.
I recommend for breakfast!

Had not been to this establishment in several months due to our last visit not being very good but decided to try it again always seems busy usually if a place is busy the food is good. Well sorry to say I was disappointed again although the service and the waitress was very nice and friendly and the food again was just mediocre at best. It was Friday night so I decided to try the fried perch it was very very very dry, seemed over cooked and way too much breading and no fish. The fish at Long John Silver’s it’s much better. My wife had a sandwich I believe it was chicken she was satisfied with that. We got desert to go again we were not very satisfied with that, i’ve had much better pie elsewhere. I gave it two stars because my wife said her sandwich was OK otherwise it will just be one star I’ve learned my lesson never going back.

Good food with many choices. The salad & soup buffet is always plentiful. The speed of service depends upon which server you get but they’re always willing to get you what you need. Open and airy inside, not too loud.

It was okay. The salad bar was clean and had fresh items. It was well stocked. The cod I got was… okay. My mom got fried chicken with sausage gravy, She was unimpressed. For the person who complained about beets being on the salad bar… I love them and always get them. So does mom. I would go again, but probably stick to breakfast. It looks like that might be their thing. One thing… it was CLEAN and that is great. Service was fine. Our server was new, but she did a decent job. A little slow, but that could be the kitchen,

Out looking for a place for breakfast before heading to mall. What a find. Staff so nice. Clean place and great menu. Full salad bar!

Great service — our waitress Jessica was awesome and made excellent recommendations for dinner! Very cozy, quiet and wonderful food — Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo very good and my friend had the «melt in your mouth» roast beef !
Recommending to everyone!

For casual dining this place has it all!!! Modern, clean environment
Great food!!! Portions are plentiful and most entrees come with a trip to the soup and salad bar, which can also be had unlimited as your meal. Lot of good homemade comfort entrees!!!
Friendly, attentive service
And the value for your money can’t be beat, most dinner entrees including the soup and salad bar are around $ 10.
Great place for families, big tables and long booths to accommodate.
Will DEFINITELY return

Poor service, food wasn’t very good. Won’t go back and neither should you. Was really hoping this place would be better based on other reviews. Wasn’t very busy so not sure why our experience seemed to differ from others.

Party of 2 went on a Thursday night. We were seated right away. Waiter took our order and expressed firmly one trip to the soup & salad bar. We started with the soup. Navy bean was like baked beans — very tasty. Chicken noodle had homemade noodles and pieces of chicken the size of my pointer finger. VERY HOT!
Salad bar was good — everyone was loading up for their one trip. Good selection of extra’s — would have like to see basic mac or potato salad. They did have cottage cheese and two types of pasta salad.
Dinner was served. Waiter got my order completely wrong — but within 15 minutes the right order arrived piping hot.
My friend ordered the roast beef dinner, mashed potato’s and green beans. I had the ½ slab of ribs with baked potato and green beans.
All meals are served with dinner roll, garlic bread or cinnamon roll. We both got the garlic bread. Good — not salty, as sometimes it is.
*** NOTE: Waiter should have told us the green beans had bacon flavor in them. FOR VEGETARIANS.
Everything was delicious. By the time I finished my salad, I was done for the night. Brought my entire meal home. So did my friend.
Sauce on ribs was very good, roast beef could be cut with a fork. We saw the special of the night being served; Stuffed Peppers. Two whole peppers stuffed & over flowing. EXCELLENT PORTIONS.
No refills on pop — we had sweet tea which came with refills. Our bill was $ 22.00 for both of us.
Very very pleased with this new owner and what they have done with the building — well lit, bright and open. Great service — salad bar was kept up and kept clean. Refills coming out of the kitchen several times during our meal.
OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK.

WELL WORTH THE TRIP!!!

Plenty of parking. Big restaurant with booths and tables. Neat, clean. Great breakfast, not so thrilled with the dinner I got here.

Visited last night with my wife as we were passing en route to The Outback; but we decided to try here instead for a change as there were lots of cars in the lot and we hadn’t noticed it before. We were seated promptly and our server, Jessica, came over quickly and explained the menu options well and then got us our drinks. I had the all meat omelette and subbed fries for the home fries and had the wheat toast. My wife tried the All American omelette and fries also. The omelettes themselves were HUGE. Half the portion would have been plenty; and I took half home in a box. It was very tasty and hot; and the fries were clean and fresh and hot also. The décor is nice enough; and it has been there since October 2013 according to our server. We enjoyed our meal and will probably return to sample the breakfast menu in the future. The place has a nice family «feel» to it and I would recommend it if you’re in the Mentor area. It is way more modern looking/​feeling than its «sister» location in Perry.

The Remodel is nice, The food is good the service could have been better.

I have been here twice. Once for breakfast about a week ago and today for dinner. For breakfast I had the Chicken Fried Steak with Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. This was good. The chicken fried steak was crisp but not overcooked, the sausage gravy had a good amount of sausage and was very flavorful. The biscuits were also good. My companion had three blueberry pancakes. These were very large and she raved about how good they were. For our dinner selections we had the barbecue ½ chicken and the meatloaf sandwich. The chicken was very tender and the sauce, while not homemade, was tangy and pretty good. The meatloaf got a good review from my Mom. she loved the gravy. We had very good service on both trips. This is not a fine dining establishment, but for a tasty, well prepared homestyle meal at a good price this is a really good option.

I think this place could be good. I’ve been there a few times with my family and we were happy with what came on our plates. But another reviewer said they served corn, and I agree, both times we were there, we got corn. I hate corn. Also, the salad bar needs some help-​big time. It’s small, but could be decent if they kept track of getting spoiled stuff off it and didn’t put the cheapest of the cheap, as far as ingredients go. I mean, who eats beets??? Also, the rolls or cinnamon rolls are heated in the microwave before being delivered; makes the rolls hard, rubbery, and inedible, every time. I’m not getting why they don’t have them in a steam table? Then, where the heck is the wait staff? Not serving the customers, that’s for sure! Get it together or end up like your predecessors!

Some of the food could be a lot better (I’d stay away from their chicken… very dry… seemed boiled) but the quick and friendly service is GREAT and the space between tables is second to none. Did I mention clean?! If they could work on their food (too many menu items really) a bit I’d give them 4 – 5 stars for sure!

The food and service here are excellent. Dinners are plentiful and at a reasonable price. Best part, there’s a salad bar! Who doesn’t love the ability to customize your own salad before a meal? I ordered the panko breaded shrimp for 9.99. My meal came with green beans, roll, and a baked potato. The shrimp was delicious.

The ribs are excellent (so says the husband); comperable to Smokey Bones but at a very reasonable price. I had the salad bar. It’s clean and fresh but not a lot of variety for the cost. Comes with a selwction of soup od the day or chille. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

Our first visit to this restaurant. The inside had 2 nice fire places. They had a soup and salad bar, which is included with the dinners. The waitress recommended pot roast, which my friend ordered and she said very tender. We ordered the roast beef, which was a huge portion. Everything was good. Would definitely return. Good value !

Being a fan of the Perry Family Restaurant (PFR), and knowing that this one is owned by the same people, I wanted to try this place. I was very impressed as to how they had fixed this place up. I could remember when this used to be Dutch Pantry and the old video rental place as well as that other restaurant.
The food and portions were very good, they had a nice salad bar, but I was disapointed to see that they did not add a buffet bar like the Perry place has. I guess that had to be given up since there would not be any place to put it.
All in all, I think a very nice place for Mentor. I know he Lexus driving crowd from Mentor will more than likely not come here, but for those looking for a good meal, at a decent price will flock to this place. I know I will be back.

Nice, clean, updated atmosphere. Went for breakfast… service was a little slow as far as getting coffee refills and a complete order on the table with toast. Sausage links are small and likely from a frozen bag… not like other family restaurants. Price was avg-​moderate. The place is still new so might try again sometime… maybe lunch or dinner. Salad/​soup bar looked fresh.
